Impactful Policy Frameworks
California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) - 2020
The CPRA expanded the CCPA, granting consumers more rights over their personal data, including the right to correct inaccurate data and limit the use and disclosure of sensitive personal information.
It significantly increases compliance requirements for data collection and usage, potentially impacting targeted advertising capabilities and data sharing practices for businesses operating in California.
Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) - 1998 (latest updates 2013)
COPPA imposes requirements on operators of websites or online services directed to children under 13 years of age, or who have actual knowledge that they are collecting personal information from children under 13.
It restricts data collection and targeting capabilities for products and services marketed to children, requiring businesses to adapt their ad strategies or avoid advertising to this demographic.
Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Enforcement Actions on Dark Patterns - Ongoing
The FTC has increased scrutiny and enforcement actions against 'dark patterns' – deceptive design practices on websites and apps that trick users into making choices they might not otherwise make, especially regarding privacy settings and subscriptions.
It pushes e-commerce platforms and advertisers to ensure transparency and ethical user experience in their design, potentially limiting certain persuasive ad and checkout flows.
